You may enter your information while the form is displayed through Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 (or a later version). If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, you may download it for free by clicking here. Using this feature creates a legible copy of your return to keep for your records and to file with The City of Kettering Tax Division. It should be noted that Adobe Acrobat Reader will not allow you to save a copy of your completed form. Please be sure to print copies of your completed return prior to exiting the page or resetting the form. A copy of your form may only be saved if you have the complete Adobe Acrobat Suite installed on your computer.

If you do not want to utilize the fill-in feature, you may print blank copies of any tax form by by clicking on the print icon on the toolbar within the Adobe Acrobat Reader window or by using the File / Print Option also found on the Adobe Acrobat Reader toolbar.

How To Get Started

Select the appropriate form by clicking on form name from the list above. The form should automatically open and be displayed through Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 (or a later version).

To begin; position your cursor (or I beam) inside the red box located at the top of the form; click; and begin entering your information. You may move from field to field by using your TAB key. (Note: If you have no information to enter in a certain field, continue using your TAB key to move to the next field that applies to you.)

There are certain questions on each form that you can only answer by inserting a check mark inside a box. To insert (or delete) a check mark inside a box, hit the SPACE bar one time.

If you accidentally hit the ENTER key you will be automatically returned to the top of the form. You may re-position your cursor by merely clicking on the field you were in prior to hitting the ENTER key and continue entering your information.

Once you have entered all the required information, you may print out a copy of the completed return by clicking on the print icon on the toolbar within the Adobe Acrobat Reader window or by using the File / Print Option also found on the Adobe Acrobat Reader toolbar.
